Have you ever realised how quick life is ?
Legendary sprinters do not even match the pace of life
Early mornings are longer than the day itself
In the darkness , the real thoughts are active
Elements of life gather above my head like clouds above the birds
Have you realised how quick life is ?
Depressive moments have longer expiry dates than jubilant periods
Sunset walks exceed the day's time mentally
Rays of hope emerge from the heavens and reflect healing and solidarity
One finds healing in the darkness before the sun rises
Have you realised how quick life is ?

In a blink , the future is present
We start in the dark and we end in the dark
In the early midst of all this , the fire starts to ignite from one end of the earth
Once it fully governs the day , it disappears quicker than it prepares itself
This happens daily
Time gave birth to Years in hours but the growth happened in seconds
We’re living in the end yet we’re in the present
Time is ahead but some day we will be on time
Now tell me , have you realised how quick life is?
Think about it as I leave my poetry class.
